144. the people I know do not live in poor urban areas

yet their lives have been harmed by guns. You underestimate the stress involved when say (as happened to me) an entire hospital is locked down because a man came in threatening people with a gun. This is just another common occurrence in this country. Your idea that people should only fear gun violence in urban areas is ridiculous. People can't even go into suburban shopping malls safely before Christmas. People from other countries are afraid of having gunmen assault them in their rental cars. People are afraid for their kids in school. Get real, at least admit it's a national problem. You would be amazed at how different it is to live in a society where this kind of fear does not exist. If you think you're "safe" from it--God help ya.

Since you're a gun defender, you should be happy to live in the US where you will never have to worry about even the most reasonable efforts to keep guns out of the hands of killers. Why "responsible gun owners" feel the necessity to keep the worst kind of people armed in the name of "civil liberties" I will never understand. But that's the way it is here--not even reasonable controls exist.

Don't worry you can always be safely armed in America, no need to defend yourself on message boards with people who want a safer country.
